Pork Tenderloin Parmesan

This is my FAVORITE way to have pork tenderloin!!  It is fast, easy and so delicious.
The ingredients are simple and you probably have them all in your pantry and refrigerator.
Here they are:

INGREDIENTS
12 ounces pork tenderloin
2 large egg whites
1/2 cup plain dried breadcrumbs (I used panko breadcrumbs)
1/2 grated Parmesan cheese
coarse salt
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
Lemon wedges, for garnish
Parsley sprigs, for garnish

DIRECTIONS
  • Slice pork into 12 pieces, and place between sheets of plastic wrap.  With a small heavy mallet, pound pork to 1/8-inch thickness.
  • Combine egg whites with 1 tablespoon water in a shallow bowl or pie plate and lightly beat to combine; set aside.  In a second shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs and Parmesan; set aside.
  • Season pork with salt.  Dredge in flour, tapping off excess.  Dip first in egg-white mixture, then place in breadcrumb mixture, turning to coat.  Pat gently to adhere.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat.  Saute half the pork until golden brown and cooked through, about 1 minute per side.  Repeat with remaining tablespoon oil and remaining pork.  Serve with lemon wedges and parsley sprigs.

  3. This does sound fast and delicious! I usually end up grilling a whole, marinated pork tenderloin but I love this idea for when it gets too cold to grill.
